question Any prefix *.com.com will redirect to the XYZ registry

Any prefix *.com.com will redirect to the XYZ registry, gen.xyz.

The XYZ registry also owns xyz.com.

Ten years ago, XYZ claimed to be the next-generation .com.


What exactly is the background of the XYZ registry?

Any prefix *.com.com will redirect to the XYZ registry, gen.xyz.

The XYZ registry also owns xyz.com.

They don't seem to own com.com, though. Maybe just renting traffic.
